> A popular YouTuber says “thanks for the pushback” in a YouTube video and has the mob at his door, instantly, despite it not being written by AI.

Well that is not really what happened at all. Most people seem to believe Hank Green was honest when he said the line "thanks for the pushback" was in fact made up at the spot and not by an LLM, and the scandal would have died there.

Except in follow-up to that, Hank Green made several very open and personal posts about his LLM usage getting completely out of hand to the extent that his wife and brother called for an intervention about it, that it's been like an addiction to him, and that he had been letting it guide him way too much and how this was a breach of trust to his audience.

There were also one or two other incidents for people who are paying attention that this did another rather large dent in trusting him as a "smart person who says smart things", any more.
